Quite a lot of recent discussion on it if you search 'ageing'. https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/yet-another-electrical-system-error-arb6-software-in-action.30698/post-466810

I would say dealer visit. I got the message, and my car had the manual charge port covers (which were working fine). For me it wasn't that the port was actually physically impaired, it was that the charging port wasn't working and needed a new port installed. So 'charging port fault' would...

In fact I can add to this...... When I contacted my dealer and they asked what I wanted (buyback of Taycan) I was told that their buyer 'does not have a phone'. 🤣 Leave your details and he will email you if interested.

It must be different in the UK. When I was trying to sell my Taycan, not one single Porsche dealer would even look at it, unless it was a p/x against a new car. To quote the sales people 'nobody is interested in used Taycans and we really struggle to shift them - so we won't even insult you...

I see the battery issues are now being viewed by Porsche as just 'ageing' during the first 8 years (when actually it's often defective manufacture). But you can bet your bottom dollar 3rd party insurers will class a module failure as 'normal wear and tear' after 8 years. Heads we win, tails...

I can't help but think that all the recalls and warranty claims on Taycans will have put a huge dent into the company's profitabulity. When operating on margin of <2%, every major recall (eg heaters, brakes, battery) would wipe out any profit and turn that cars sale into a loss. My car had 3...

This is what jumped out for me on Reuters. They are barely making a profit, so its no wonder they don't want to replace battery packs and are instead installing the software and just replacing modules. There isn't much wiggle room, before tipping into a loss. And how do they then turn that...

It does surprise me that anyone who comes on this forum asking whether they should buy a Taycan, actually goes ahead after reading through the busiest threads. Plenty enough to at least give people 2nd thoughts I would have guessed? Certainly without a lengthy Porsche warranty.

When I got the partial refund for my extended Porsche warranty, it was all handled through the dealer (as agent) and was a right PITA taking all the documents etc. The dealer then said they will forward it on to PCGB. The (eventual) bank credit came from: ACASTA EUROPE LIMI

I sold my Taycan after 3+ years and bought a BMW i4 M50. Personally, I had way too many issues with the car and also found it too big for my use. But the dealers were the kicker.....not even being able to get it booked in to be fixed (with a courtesy car) for 2-3 months when it went...

I have had a shed load of this tat in recent weeks, including the letter this weekend. Even more infuriating since I constantly opt out / unsubscibed for everything once I sold the car. So it's even more tacky that they are resorting to using 1980s double glazing sales techniques AND ignoring...

Sounds to me like something to do with the battery condition and it's 8 year guarantee. I may be wrong.

When the software was installed in all the Taycan fleet, and they would have assumed there was going to be a surge for replacement battery modules, did nobody think 'it may be a good idea to have a supply of them ready'? Radical thinking I know!

Agree....if you were due to leave shortly after charging, I would charge to 90% or 95% depending on season etc.

I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong, but the 11 / 22kw OBC relates to AC charging. Where it requires the smaller charging port. The DC (fast charging) is unaffected by this (up to 270kw), where the extra chargng port flap is used.

Plus out of pocket costs, and a gesture of goodwill for time wasted, inconvenience etc, I would say.

$4000 for a replacement window seal 😲

And that's where they fail miserably in my experience (UK). The dealership experience was the worst I have had from any manufacturer in 40+ years driving. And never any apology for inconveniences/no loan cars etc etc. And Porsche themselves seem to align with Rolex and the Royal Family in that...

So here's a thought..... Did Porsche make an actual profit on the J1.1 overall? It states in the article above that MB etc aim to make 10%, so I imagine Porsche is higher. But the number of costly recalls and warranty work on the Taycan must be considerable. The heater replacements alone...
